MULL (GraniteShares 2x Long MU Daily ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management - Leveraged, with a market capitalization of approximately $523.5M, a beta of 9.68 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 0.692-43.5264, average daily share volume of 10.8M, a public-listing history dating back to 2024. These structural characteristics shape how MULL etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

MULL snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $22.45, ATM IV 129.30%, IV rank 32.66%, expected move 37.07%. The collar on MULL below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.

Why this collar structure on MULL specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range MULL IV at 129.30% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 37.07% (roughly $8.32 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated MULL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MULL should anchor to the underlying notional of $22.45 per share and to the trader's directional view on MULL etf.

MULL collar setup

The MULL collar below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With MULL at $22.45 on that close, the first option leg uses a $23.60 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MULL chain at a 35-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 MULL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Buy 100 shares	Stock	$22.45	long
Sell 1	Call	$23.60	$3.15
Buy 1	Put	$21.40	$3.10

MULL thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MULL extends from approximately $14.13 on the downside to $30.77 on the upside. A MULL collar hedges an existing long MULL position with a protective put while financing the put cost via a short call; when the premiums roughly offset, the collar acts as a near-zero-cost insurance band around the current spot. Current MULL IV rank near 32.66% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on MULL should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, MULL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MULL-specific events.

MULL collar positions are structurally neutral (protective); the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. MULL positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move MULL alongside the broader basket even when MULL-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current MULL chain quotes before placing a trade.
